Covid 19 - Outdoor Gyms Allowed to Re-open

Thursday, February 18, 2021

Under the national lockdown announced on 4 January, outdoor public playgrounds could remain open. While outdoor gyms were required to close, revised guidance issued on 28th January permits them to open with a clearly marked one-way system around the fixtures/machines, to help prevent users from coming into close contact with each other. There is a reminder of the need for a COVID-19 secure risk assessment before opening.
